Though I have also been informed that most people like to project into fic and that's why they read it

I'm not ace at all and this has always just been incredibly weird and creepy to me. If I'm reading fic about two characters, it's because I want to read about those characters, not because I want to pretend to be one of them.

As an aro/ace person who's very into fictional smut and romance (particularly when one of my ships is involved), I've always found it really neat, and also comforting, that even among allo people this is so totally variable. Like, I know allo people who find it baffling that some people don't project themselves into fanfic, because they assume it's standard. And I know other allo people who seem to have about as much of a visceral squick at the idea as I do.

I have a guy friend who literally doesn't understand what I get from smut or romance if I'm not imagining myself being involved. Like, it does not compute for him. I find that so wild.

Yeah, I can't comprehend the idea of projecting into a fic because like... for me, the entire reason I ship a pairing is that I like the specific dynamics between those two characters, so my interest is in wanting to read about those two characters in particular interacting. If I projected myself into it then it wouldn't be those two characters anymore, it would be one character and me and that's not what I'm there for.
